Centrum and its ethyl alcohol

It burns a little all the way down. I haven't taken it in 2 days because I have an upset tummy and I shudder at the thought. So is this bad? I really wouldn't think That (stearyl? ) alcohol would be wise?

I lost 11 lbs my first week and thought that was great, so... I'm a week and a half out and I have thoughts lily these. Fortunately they are temporary and i can think rational after that. I LOVE food. but that's stupid. My love if food is what got me to this point. So I also HATE FOOD. because I have no self control over it. These first few weeks are hell. I'm having a hard time getting my liquid in and I've had to go back to Clear liquids because shakes hurt My sleeve. No sense in regret. This is where we are and we gotta soldier on. It will get better.

Same. Lissa, what did you do? I can't stand the unjury Protein. Everything is sweet, Gatorade, Vitamin Water, chewable antacids, Iron, glucose tabs. I have to choke everything down.

Also, if you forget once and have the pain I did, you'll likely NEVER EVER do it again. And I'm still on liquids. "/ I had a tiny amt of cream of chicken Soup and turned around and drank something out of habit. I got the heart attack feeling too. I'm actually still recovering, 2 days later.

It's the famous 3rd week stall. I've seen it mentioned. Very common. Chin up friend, the weight WILL come off. And 16 lbs the first week is crazy!!

A week or so!? I'm positive I'll die before then. Hissyfit

Oh, I'm 10 days out and not allowed apples yet. "/

Dr. Put me on 60mg dexilant for a ppi today and it isn't helping. Does it take a while to kick in? Nothing wants to stay down or when it does it hurts and I feel like I'm going to vomit. I'm going back to Clear Liquids for a day or 3 to see if that helps.

I'm having a hard time too. Actually went to the er last night and found out I can't eat any fats (cream of chicken soup) because my pancreas is having a hard time with it right now. Sigh This too shall pass

Thanks for reaching out friends. I really dislike being the whiner and really never thought I would be, but I guess noone is immune. I KNOW I will get better and I'm positive that I'll live my sleeve once I'm in a better place. I'm just scared. Especially with not getting my fluids in now because sleeve is aggravated. I get migraines fast when I don't drink enough. I do not need a migraine. Sigh. Hopefully things will look up tomorrow. And I'm going to have dh get glucose tabs after work tomorrow. Thanks again. (Hug)

And I'll sound like a crazy person, but I regret the sirgery at the current time. I wouldn't, if I could figure out how to manage this hypoglycemia. I feel like I'm going to just pass out and I am supposed I get the kids ready for school. I'm only 9 days out so I can't just whip up some cream of wheat. And how he heck do you STILL get your 64 oz liquids with all the waiting? I feel like I'm living by the damned clock and like I could pass out at any minute. At this point, I can see the future. It looks pretty good. But right in this very moment, the one where my tummy feels right because it didnt agree with something, it's been an hour and I don't think I'll be able to fit in Water now because its throwing a temper tantrum. My entire existence is sleeve. My temper is short, I have SIX children to care for. I'm failing that and I am scared of his hypoglycemia. How do I get it under control? So today? I regret it. At least this afternoon I do. Never thought I'd say that. Please hug me, send prayers etc. I keep crying (hormones I know) and I feel weak physically and psychologically.

Thank you for all the replies ladies and gents. Laura, I wish I could. I have a toddler to chase and a preschooler at home. I WILL NAP today if I have to tape them to the wall. (they actually nap at 1 and I'll be with them) I woke up late this morning because I just. Could. Not. Wake. Up. Doesnt help that I was up for an hour in the night drinking Water and a little juice for hypoglycemia. I was cranky had so little energy. It's like I'm only getting 300-600 calories or something. . I cried a couple times just wondering how the heck I'm gonna do this for another month. I'm not just tired. I feel like everything is heavy, Kwim? I knew this wasn't gonna be easy bit I have to say its at least 5x harder than I expected. Still don't regret it. I'm only 9 days out now, butter. Send some prayers my way ease.

Or duodenal switch

This is against the grain but I'm actually juicing (and still straining) leafy greens, fruits and veggies all together to make a green drink. It's about all i can stand. Gatorade is so fakey, don't like Jello, never have. Protein drinks are ok, I'm drinking a room temp premier for lunch but still juicin for bfast and dinner. Powdered Protein drinks tick me off. If you shake them in a shaker they separate. If you blenderrr them they turn to froth. I'm putting them up for a whole and I'll try again in a few months. Oh plus most of my samples say things like "do not take I'd you are pregnant or considering, etc" and I'm thinking that doesn't sound very healthy.

I'm beat. My body is exhausted. My mind is slow. Others (not that I'm comparing, of course, and uh. Stuff) around as far out as me have crazy clean all the things energy and I want mine!! I eat good. Get plenty if calories, try to get my Water and Protein in..... Vitamins. Ps- I'm not complaining. At all. I'm thrilled to be finally ridin the sleeve boat.

Which should I get if I can't. Move?

Not mine, but I know everyone has diff sizes. Are you tall?

I think it also probably depends on how much belly fat you have pulling on everything.

Here are the symptoms of hypoglycemia. Fits the bill. Tomorrow I'm going to start a "juice feast" not to be confused w a fast.(at home, in my juicer with lots of dark leafy greens) I believe god made food can heal me better and go e me more energy than man made foods. And plant Protein is more easily absorbed than met protein anyway, so I believe we need less of it. I'm going to see how I feel on this for 3 days. Tomorrow if I sill have these symptoms and still feel worried, I'll er it.

Dr. Says probably hypoglycemia. Says to make sire that what I'm drinking is NOT sugar free and to have an oz of OJ when this comes in. Says if it doesn't fix it, I please go to the er and keep him updated. Thanks for the love, all. I don't have oj just yet, but have dh getting some. I had bought tiny 4 oz boxes of fruit punch FOR hypoglycemia an it did seem to help. Time will tell. UNFORTUNATELY, it did not cute my grouchies. Lol Mama wants a cookie too guys. Or tuna salad even. Can't WAIT for purées.

Looks like it might be a reaction to the lanzoprozole.(ppi) I didnt take it as directed. I won't take any for a few days and see if the symptoms go away. Oh Amanda, I forgot that about the unsweetened almond milk having so much more calcium. Maybe I'll get to the store today and get some. This skim milk is for the birds!! I'm getting about 45 oz of fluids and I've been watching my urine and its never gotten dark. That's good, right? I'm pretty sure I can't squeeze more in.

At only a week out, you think? I can work on this skim milk I have. I haven't had any yet. I don't care for it, would much rather 2%. I have vit d/ calcium chews bit I think I should wait til a bit further out to take those, they are chewy like cold tootsie rolls. I'll go make a shake w the milk and force it down. It seems to have chilled a bit but I'm afraid I go out where the children are. "/
